NQT Pay

JD3112

I just have a little query on secondary teacher's pay.

Are the academic qualifications included in the basic scale or are they added on?

E.g. NQT
€30,904 .................. point 1
€1,236 .................... HDip Hons
€4,918 ..................... Degree Hons

Therefore Total for NQT with above gets €37058?

If they get a full post, yes, but you can count people who get a full post straight out of college on one hand.

Much more likely to spend their first few years doing 6-10 hours a week at the part-time rate.

A teacher with a degree and a PGDE starts on point 3.

All the teachers in our school not on CID were screwed this year with hours, it's awful. Hours seem to be so hard to get, scary when someone teaching for 3 years goes from 16 to ten hours. Here's hoping it improves somewhat.

Would a masters bring you up another point? Im not familiar with the working of the scale, I just presumed you went up a point per year of service. Do you have any document which shows how you go up the scale?

The scale applies to all teachers. You also get an allowance for your HDip/PGDE based on whether you got honours or pass. Then there is an allowance for your qualification where you get the allowance for the highest qualification attained from Pass Degree/Hons Degree/Pass Masters/Hons Masters/PhD. You cannot get an allowance for a degree and a masters, just the masters.

Have a look at the Common Basic Scale and Academic Qualifications.

A typical teacher might start off on Point 3 of the scale, with the allowances for Honours Degree and Honours PGDE (assuming that most people who get into the PGDE these days have at least an honours degree and get the PGDE with honours.


So to answer your question, the masters doesn't bring you up a point on the scale but assuming an honours masters, you will get the allowance for that instead of the honours degree. And you do go up a point on the scale for each year of service.

...though this doesn't always mean your pay goes up.

How we love those 3 and 4 year points.
